A blessed Mother’s Day to all of my sisters in Christ. It is a shame that I had to pause and struggle a bit before prayerfully deciding how to express my heartfelt Mother’s Day salute. In these days of confusion we now live in, mothers are being invented in all manner of peculiar ways including by way of men who transform themselves into women and become mothers to children in their care. This state of affairs is supported by any number of emotionally charged arguments that defy the will and instruction of humanity’s Creator contained in the Bible; the God and Book not a few in many churches believe are no longer relevant as they serve the god born of their narcissism: self!
Rebels may not want to honor God or His Word, but that does not dismiss them from existence. According to the Word of God, females were designed and created by God to naturally conceive, carry in their wombs, birth, nourish and nurture children who are the next generation of mankind. In so doing, a female indispensably helps to continue human existence on the earth as part of a team with the male, her head and bearer of the seed that initiates their children’s lives (Genesis 1:27-28, 2:18-25). After the original couple’s fall, God’s program remained in place (Genesis 3:20) albeit with many unforeseen consequences that reach right down into the confusion of our day.
Emotional arguments can be very appealing and strong, but also very wrong as plainly demonstrated by Eve when she led herself and her husband to disobey God (Genesis 3:6-11)! Many male pastors have felt very strongly that women equally gifted as men should serve as God has only assigned men. But they have sinned against the Lord and served as His judge by casting aside the Word of instruction in making women pastors, leaders and teachers over men in His house using emotional arguments; saying for example, “God can use who He wants to.” This is true. However, learn in today’s blog why this emotional argument and all others fail before the God of order!

Beyond the childish arguments lifted up against God's faithful prophets in order to muzzle them (Isaiah 30:8-11; Amos 2:11-12; Micah 2:6), there are the many rebel arguments lifted up against His Word that are rooted purely in emotion. As the Scripture foretells about these evil days, truth and reason have been exiled to a bygone era (Acts 26:24-25; 2 Timothy 4:3-4). Many have gone after the world and left Christ, the living Word (2 Timothy 4:10; 1 John 1:1-3; Revelation 2:4-5)! The Strong Man of God is written with the subtitle, Back To Basics because within its pages men and the churches are called back to the foundational biblical truths which declare God’s program for man.
The Bible as the Word of God is of the most basic and foundational truths that all born again Christians should hold in common. Yet, how many times I have heard professing Christians rebut sound doctrine with the emotional line, “The Bible was written by men.” They miss the flaw in their argument that if it is a reasoned assertion fallen men writing the Bible dismiss the doctrine being rebutted, it also destroys all of Christianity since the faith is built on the Bible. And so it goes; a desire to disobey a certain portion of God’s Word leads to flesh driven emotional arguments that seek to justify it. This is an approach that is straight out of the world controlled by Satan.
In its forceful move away from objective Judeo-Christian truth and morality, our society more and more offers its own truth and morality based on the emotional arguments of what works for the individuals involved. Here are a few examples. Two people should be able to marry based on love regardless of gender. A person should be able to die (commit suicide) with dignity. A woman's rights over her body trump those of her unborn child (spelled tissue). And of course, directly related to my book and the instruction from God's Word that men as husbands are to head their families, this is now not fair and equal treatment of women since they are capable of leading also.
As a Christian Black American, it is offensive to hear the emotional argument that since women are an oppressed minority like blacks, society must eradicate all perceived forms of inequality for them including the bondage of being the kind of wife the Bible describes. The argument has also been expanded to include those that have willfully chosen sexually deviant lifestyles. As it concerns women, we sinful men surely have messed up to whatever extent women have been unfairly and unequally treated by us in disobedience to God’s Word. I apologize for this in my book. However, by no means do the sins of men justify the all out rebellion now underway against God and His Word.
In the book, I hold firmly to and stand on the testimony of Scripture that it is in fact, God breathed and penned by fallen men made holy He chose and empowered for the task (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21). As such, I also in truth and reason point up the right God has as mankind's Creator to set the ground rules for our existence. Every argument lifted up against His program then (no matter how emotional) is of rebellion and sin. For it is written, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” (Genesis 1:1, NKJV). And again, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man…,’” (Genesis 1:26, NKJV). You and I are creatures with a Maker over us (Revelation 4:11)!
The same Creator that gave the universe, galaxies, solar systems and earth order, also gave it to the apex of His creation, man. Man as male and female in marriage is God's orderly program for them to fulfill His purposes in this age. Man the male as the head of his family--even after falling in sin--is so by divine will, design and order (Genesis 3:16b). If the fixed order of day and night that God has established were to be disrupted, chaos on earth would ensue. So it is now with human rebellion against His fixed order of the family. As a consequence in part, God will soon give those who clamor for disorder fully what they desire (Revelation 8:12). The risen, living Christ continues His cry among American churches, “Who is on the Lord’s side?”
